Titanium frame

The iPhone 15 Pro is widely rumored to be a significant upgrade, the biggest change being an all-new titanium casing with a rounder design. Although subtle, the rounded edges should be a noticeable upgrade in the hand, as many users have complained about the current iPhone’s sharp edges.

The cameras

In addition to the new titanium frame, Apple is once again increasing the size of the cameras on the iPhone 15 Pro. The camera bump is thicker, but the more noticeable change comes with the protruding lenses. CAD files show that the individual lens protrusion has more than doubled from the iPhone 14 Pro’s massive cameras.

It is important to note that in CAD files, the iPhone 15 Pro Max has a smaller camera protrusion; this may be due to a periscope camera, as rumored comes this year exclusively in the larger Pro Max model. This would mean that the iPhone 15 Pro will have a bigger camera bump than the iPhone 15 Pro Max.

Camera improvements from generation to generation are a sure thing, and Apple is gearing up for a significant upgrade if the size of the cameras is anything to go by. Rumor has it that the iPhone 15 Pro will have a brand new sensor technology coming “capture more light and reduce over or under exposure in certain settings.”

USB-C on iPhone 15 models

USB-C is also rumored to be coming all iPhone 15 models. Based on leaked images of a prototype device, the USB-C port has a unique metal frame with a ribbed texture. In typical Apple fashion, the fastest charging will be limited to USB-C cables certified by Apple.

Haptic volume and mute buttons

Goodbye buttons and mute button – iPhone 15 Pro will have solid-state haptic and mute buttons. According to the latest information is buttons will be replaced with two new haptic engines specifically dedicated to emulating a button press.

Exclusively reported by 9to5Mac’s Filipe Esposito, the mute switch will also get the haptic treatment and will instead act as a push button; it remains to be seen how Apple will treat this new entry into the software.

Small frames

Apple will continue to shrink bezels this year, with the iPhone 15 Pro’s bezels measuring just 1.55mm. We also see that both the front and back glass have a subtle curve to the edges, which seamlessly transitions into the titanium frame of the device.

iPhone 15 Pro brand new color

Perhaps the most exciting change, 9to5Mac has learned that the iPhone 15 Pro comes in a brand new deep red color; the exact color code is 410D0D. This color is rumored to sit alongside Apple’s usual White, Space Black and Gold and will replace Deep Purple.

Measure

Due to the smaller bezels and the same overall screen size, the iPhone 15 Pro will be slightly smaller than the iPhone 14 Pro. This and the more rounded edges should make the phone much more comfortable to hold.

The iPhone 15 Pro measures 70.46mm by 146.47mm with a thickness of 8.24mm, while the iPhone 14 Pro is slightly larger at 71.45mm by 147.46mm with a thickness of 7.84mm.

Summarize

The iPhone 15 Pro is shaping up to be a significant upgrade, and with an all-new titanium frame, USB-C and camera upgrades, it’s sure to be popular. It’s still early days, and nothing is confirmed until Apple reveals the device on stage; However, this gives us an accurate look at what we can expect from Apple later this year.

We’ll have much more to share about the rest of the iPhone 15 lineup in the coming weeks.
